Spare tire question on my 1996 256SL

[didden]

Still getting my new old TT ready for our dog show trip next month and I don't have a spare tire. I know the tire size is ST 205 75R15 but I need a rim also and it is 5 lug but is there a lug pattern I need to get?

The TT has a spare tire rack ono the rear that will have to be repaired to hold the tire but I am wondering if it would actually be better to just carry the tire in the truck bed or maybe on the tongue some how, like to hear thoughts on that.

Thanks
Dennis

You need a 5 hole 15" TT rim they all have the same bolt pattern.... car rims don't

For a spare I just bought the wheel and tire from Menards already mounted and ready to go. Walmart also carries them already mounted. I would only use the brand as a spare though.

The standard 5 lug pattern is 5 x 4.5". It is the same pattern as older Jeep Cherokees and Wranglers.
